More sunshine could be on its way
The exact date the UK will bask in a three-week warm spell has been revealed by the Met Office. The UK has so far this month experienced grey skies, with drizzly conditions, low temperatures and even thunder and lightning, Birmingham Live reports.
But The Met Office predicts temperatures will rise later this month, beginning on May 19. A "high-pressure ridge is most likely to extend across the UK, resulting in a good amount of fine and dry weather for most”, the forecasters say. Meteorologists continue: “Temperatures most likely above average overall, although most likely closer to average in the southeast.” They add: “Into June, high pressure is predicted to remain dominant, especially for northern areas, with cloud, rain and showers more likely to the south, although there is a level of uncertainty associated with this.“An increased likelihood of above average temperatures for many.
"Some of them will be heavy at times. It's also going to feel cooler than what it has been with temperatures dropping slightly." Looking ahead to the beginning of June, the Met Office continues: "The most likely scenario for the end of May is for drier weather in the north, with an increased chance of periods of rain and possibly thunder in the south and southwest.
"Into June, high pressure is predicted to remain dominant, especially for northern areas, with cloud, rain and showers more likely to the south, although there is a level of uncertainty associated with this." They then say in the forecast: "An increased likelihood of above average temperatures for many."
